Subject: Dead rebels rebellion Society!
As a good work, this elicits from me feelings and sympathy for the subject matter somewhat sympathetically, but surrealistically leaves me wanting more. Seeming to reflect a self pitying cry of a producer not being understood in life as they identify with the subjects produced rather than what the subjects were all about. I will rate it as good though not my highest rating, as when I find that work of the highest rating it would be fostering the desired change rather than merely sympathy for the those who seem to rebel and die as per this work. Dylan Thomas said "Do not go quietly into that good night" and I agree to go out the same way I came in "screaming bloody murder, kicking punching and grasping" to reach what was not achieved. Technically it is good and I would work with them if possible as I feel the artist but we would have some serious hashing out of our minds first as my knives are sharp.
